Hoping this is kept non-political; it’s GQ: With his Twitter, it’s a piece of cake, he just pulls his phone out and tweets. But his official Facebook page (the one with 25 million followers) is another level of complexity: There are carefully created graphics, fonts, etc. and I think it’s safe to say that Trump isn’t spending any of his time on Microsoft Paint or PhotoShop or any graphics-editing software to create those posts. (The prose of his posts sounds Trump-ish, though; usually just one-line or two-line sentences.) So does he get an aide to create his graphics, tell them in advance what he wants to say, say “Make a nice looking photo or picture for what I am going to post on my FB at 6 PM tonight” and then hit post? Obviously, none of us know, but since Obama and numerous other world leaders also use Facebook, I want to ask how they actually have it done. Are they truly the ones actually typing up the text on the phone/computer and hitting “Submit?” ---

Giving it a quick look, they all seem to be posts ABOUT Trump, not personal messages from him. I would guess that whoever was his social media manager for his campaign continued on doing it when he became president. Same for Obama. His page is a Page and not a personal timeline, just like a business or a non-profit would have a Page. When you have a Page there are tools available to you such as a scheduler. ---

His POTUS Facebook page is undoubtedly maintained by White House staff. I doubt he’s ever given it a second thought.
